This book is a surprise second-hand find.

The fashion shown may be out of date but the content is still so worth reading:
- organising sewing time and areas
- breaking a project down into smaller steps to get it done
- fast assembly techniques / processes
- adapting basic patterns that are already fitted and familiar in new ways to save time.

So good I'm tempted to get the rest of the series.

Full of some of THE ugliest dresses I've ever seen. Unique, yes, but supremely unattractive and unflattering.

Got this one on the title alone from the library. Some useful tips, not a project I'd like to make.

Really well done. Highly recommended!

I got this book from the library based on the title. How disappointing. Very outdated styles.
